Coaching Vs Training

I always wondered which of the two was better - training or coaching. Over period of time, I have come to realise that one needs to be a trainer to become a coach.

Training is the first step in change management. Its less expensive and less personalised. It is like leading the horse to the pond and that's it!

Coaching is the second step - It is individualised though it costs more than training. It is one step beyond leading the horse to the pond. Its all about understanding what makes the horse drink the water and ensuring that it does.
